Clarice Lispector's revelatory third novel, now in English for the first time.
Clarice Lispector (Author)
Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short-story writer.
Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. She was
born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I
and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and
eventually Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the
Wildheart, in 1943, when she was just twenty-three, and the next
year was awarded the Gra a Aranha Prize for the best first novel.
She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel,
The Hour of the Star.
Prolific and peerless ... a Brazilian national treasure ... Clarice
sought a knowledge beyond knowledge, a wisdom that left wisdom
behind ... through her texts emerges the struggle of life: how to
live each day, what the painful process of loving is, why one
should pick up a pen and respond to indignity in the first
place
